Description
The Utah Boating Recreation Grant (UBRG), administered by the Division of Outdoor Recreation, provides state funding to improve public boating access, safety, and infrastructure throughout Utah. The program is designed to address growing demand for recreational boating by supporting projects such as construction or repair of boat ramps, courtesy docks, parking, shoreline protection, drought-related access improvements, and the purchase of search and rescue equipment. Funding comes from boating-related fees and state appropriations, with the goal of supporting safe, sustainable, and accessible boating experiences across Utah’s waterways.
